Former US president Carter, nearing 100, excited to vote for Harris, grandson says

WASHINGTON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, 99, is eagerly awaiting his chance to cast a ballot for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris this fall even as he approaches his 100th birthday, his grandson said on Wednesday. Carter, a Democrat who served in the White House from between 1977 and early 1981, has been in hospice care for about 18 months and suffered the loss of his wife Rosalynn last year. But he remains "engaged" and wants to see the country move past former Republican President Donald Trump, Jason Carter told MSNBC.

"He's super aware," Jason Carter said. "Just recently, we were talking about his 100th birthday, and he said, 'Yeah, I'm excited about that, but I'm really excited to vote for Kamala Harris.'" The former peanut farmer and nuclear submarine officer from Georgia has lived longer after his four-year term in office than any other U.S. president. He will turn 100 on Oct. 1, six days before the Southern state starts mailing out absentee ballots. Early in-person voting starts on Oct. 15.

100 year old voters is a significant voting block for Dems.

As I remember they had thousands of them in Wisconsin in 2020.

Carter is trying to move up the ladder. After kamala and biden, he could move up to 3rd worst president.

I’d take Carter over Kam. Even at 100. Especially at 100.

Carter feeling nostalgic about a failed presidency, which Kamala promise to emulate this time around. Failures tend to stand behind other failures. They serve as good examples for other failures to follow.

All that said, democrats would support Carter now more than Kamala, if they had that choice. Carter was at least a choice of voting democrats during the primaries, whereas Kamala was selected by a Kremlin-like cabal.

Well, he’s already broken the world record for length of time in hospice, so he’s looking for new accomplishments

For years Jimmah was the worst President of my lifetime. Then,he was a distant second to The Kenyan. Today he's a very distant third to The Big Guy.

He is excited now, but in ten years when he is dead, he will be an even more excited democrat voter. Just saying.
